Alrighty, folks, who’s ready to make some freakin’ feedback friends?

We wanna help you guys connect with fellow writers for beta reading, story-swapping, literary speed-dating, and peer-to-peer cheerleading — but our last Feedback Friends Forever call was… well, kinda overwhelmingly massive.

Which is awesome, because it means there are a ton of you out there looking for / willing to give feedback.

But it also showed us we need to tweak the logistics a bit to make sure everyone can find a friend.

So, this month we’re gonna try narrowing down our swapping pool by GENRE…


Let’s Get Speculative!

For the month of April, we’re calling out all you writers of speculative, fantasy, sci fi and magical realist fiction.

If that sounds like you, and you’d like to find a Feedback Friend, here’s whattado:

  • Leave a comment with a little more info on your WIP, eg:

    • Genre

    • Length (poetry, short story, novella, epic trilogy)

    • And a 1-3 sentence blurb to give a sense of what your story is about

  • Browse the other comments to see if someone else’s work catches your eye

  • Say hi, introduce yourself, and if you get along, DM or exchange info so you can start swapping your work!
